This! Malwarebytes seems to be one of the better ones I've used. I run XP so don't know if there are Vista versions (although I assume so), but in addition as needed I use AdAware and SpyBot Search & Destroy, or SuperAntiSpyware on occasion if things are running weird. You probably won't find a single solution of all occasions. I also use a software firewall (Comodo, but played with ZoneAlarm and OnlineArmor) and an antivirus program(recently switched from AVG to Avira...Avast is another option or NOD32 if you want a pay product) |

Online-Armor is an essential piece of free software as well. |
